Winning the Day Trading Game offers an insider's view of the trading life and provides proven strategies for profitable trading. Professional trader Tom Busby explains how the strategies that made him so much money early on in his career ultimately failed during the 1987 stock market crash and then reveals how he reinvented himself as a high-percentage day trader. He interweaves personal experiences with technical explanations to outline the cornerstones of his technique. In highlighting his own trading experiences, Busby clearly explains how to beat the market by balancing the impulses of greed and fear, managing risk at all times; and taking responsibility for your trading.
Thomas L. Busby (Mobile, AL) has been a professional trader and broker for 25 years, working with Merrill Lynch and Smith Barney. He founded the Day Trading Institute in 1996 and it has grown into one of the most successful trading schools in the world.
User Reviews about Winning the Day Trading Game: Lessons and Techniques from a Lifetime of Trading (Wiley Trading)
I ordered this book since February 9, 2010. Today is April 9. I haven't receive it yet. This is an unknown book to me for now. -- Black Book
This book is where anyone should start when trading anything in the markets. It puts a complex topic and shapes it into an easy to read and understand guide on the markets and how to trade them. I've ready many books that teach you a system on trading, this one teaches a method. I've always been hesitant on any book that claims to help with day trading, a term that many investors balk at. However, this book teaches you how to trade the day markets while using the global markets to time major moves in the big trend. YOU SHOULD NOT TRADE WITHOUT READING THIS BOOK. PERIOD. I recommend this book to everyone out there looking for a way to improve your accuracy. -- amazing insight about a fascinating topic
Worth far more than the cover price if you only take away one of the many nuggets within its pages. Tom's introduction to the markets, how he joined the business, & how he recovered from the crash of '87, provides a reality check & hope to any trader. His system, constant references to risk control & never trading without stops provide a solid foundation for any trading plan, regardless of the market chosen. His preparation method, 3ts of trading and recognition of market moves that indicate when any trade is wrong, separates his approach from many others that offer theirs as the path to success. Tom story telling mixed with systematic approach, along with addressing psychological aspects of trading make it nearly a complete package. Learn to read the tape, use decision T & wait for the proper time to trade. It is worth keeping near your trading desk, I find more each time I read it. -- Time of Day, & Real Risk Control
This is a must read for any one who trades. No matter your status as a trader whether you are a novice, or have been trading for 30 years, there is something in this book for everyone. The ideas and concepts presented are profound and one of kind. It is also nice to see a successful, professional trader and how our particular career choice effects every day life. He makes it personal and is easy to relate to. I love the fact that he takes us into his past with illustrations and analogies and explains why he now runs his own educational firm instead of keeping this priceless information to himself. Busby makes himself vunerable and shows how to bounce back from a horrendous defeat. This is the VERY BEST book on trading I have read... True Story!!!! -- Best Trading Book I Have EVER Read
This is the type of book that should be mandatory at every trading course. No matter how much experience you have in trading (stocks, futures,...) by reading this book you'll get a second chance to effectively understand the fundamental principles (such as key numbers) involved in trading. It is just amazing how Tom Busby details his strategies and talks about his trading experience in simple terms. It is quite unfortunate that nobody told me to read this fantactic book a few years ago. -- One of the best
